Levofloxacin is the L-isomer of the racemate, ofloxacin, a quinolone antimicrobial agent. Levofloxacin is used for oral and intravenous administration. Levofloxacin is sold under brand name levaquin and is used to treat infections in adults (≥18 years of age) caused by designated, susceptible bacteria such as, pneumonia: nosocomial and community acquired; skin and skin structure infections: complicated and uncomplicated; chronic bacterial prostatitis; inhalational anthrax. In addition this drug is used to treat plague; urinary tract infections: complicated and uncomplicated; acute pyelonephritis; acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis and acute bacterial sinusitis. Levofloxacin, like other fluoroquinolones, inhibits the bacterial DNA gyrase, halting DNA replication. This results in strand breakage on a bacterial chromosome, supercoiling, and resealing. In addition, levofloxacin inhibits a bacterial type II topoisomerase.

In Vitro Use Guide

Levofloxacin was compared to ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin against > 6000 recent clinical isolates of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria from six different countries. This international multicenter study demonstrated a high level of antibacterial activity of levofloxacin against all the members of Enterobacteriaceae [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)50s, < or = 0.03 to 0.12 mg/L] except Providencia rettgeri (MIC50, 2 mg/L), and Providencia stuartii (MIC50, 1 mg/L). Levofloxacin was also active against non-enteric Gram-negative bacilli, including Acinetobacter species (MIC50s, < or = 0.03 to 1 mg/L), Pseudomonas species (MIC50s, 0.5 to 1 mg/L) and Xanthomonas maltophilia (MIC50, 0.5 mg/L). Overall, levofloxacin inhibited 50% and 90% of all the tested strains at the concentrations of 0.12 and 4 mg/L, respectively. The activity of levofloxacin was generally two-fold greater than ofloxacin and equal to or slightly less potent than ciprofloxacin.
